If you have a job and/or relationship to maintain, no.

Otherwise, why not?

Without context, this could sound especially bad.

Yes! :twisted:

Hell, I played WoW when I was working 80-hour weeks. It kept me sane. Well, sorta sane. As sane as I ever get. Maybe not quite. I wasn't very sane then, but it didn't have anything to do with WoW.

What were we talking about? :screwy:

Murrin, I think my eardrums went MIA after that. (There, I've cleverly steered this thread back on topic...I think.)

Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for asking me back. Just in time for this topic, too, because it's part of why I left for a while.

I hated my job, but they offered tuition reimbursement, so I went back to school on their dime and earned a degree in tech writing. I haven't done much of that, but it did help me fix some issues with my writing in general. While I was in school, I started blogging and met some writers with connections. I wrote articles as a side gig, and when I was done using my employer for educational purposes, I quit and jumped into it full time.

It was awesome until the economy bottomed out. I was raking in jobs before that. The past few months have been stop-and-go, but my wife has been very supportive about wanting me to keep going as long as the gigs keep getting more high-profile. I probably can't ever thank her enough for that, even though she can't help but get annoyed when the checks take their time coming to the mailbox.

So, that's my story. I definitely have avoided things that I can become addicted to when I need to be working (like the video games/TV), but I think I can visit the Watch now and again.
/hugs!!!!!

i am happy that things are going well with your writing! that is extremely good news. even better news is the support you are recieving from your wife! /hugs for her too!!! :D

once again, welcome home bub! we missed ya! :D

:lol: well as I am sure you have guessed it is highly addictive. Yet a lot of fun. You may be mentioned in this thread a lot more if you do decide at any point to try it.
